HourGlass Cosmetics Phantom Volumizing Glossy Balm

This product has been trending everywhere for a while now. So, I finally purchased this product to see if it lives up to the hype. The glossy balm retails at Sephora and Ulta for $36 dollars USD.

The product comes in gold packaging and is retractable. You can move just a little product up at a time. This prevents bending or breaking while preserving the product.

Upon application, the product feels smooth, creamy, and hydrating to the lips. The balm is not sticky or greasy. Your lips look plumper A very minimal amount of the product is needed to achieve this.

The product is nicely tinted and leaves a noticeable amount of color. I used the color Slip which left the most beautiful color. Slip is a rosy mauve color. For a more dramatic look, use a lip liner and a second layer of the glossy balm.

This product is an Allure Best of Beauty Award winner for 2023. I am not surprised as this product lives up to the hype. This glossy balm is a staple in my beauty bag.

Slip Sleep Mask

A while back, if you told me I needed a silk sleep mask, it would of been on the bottom of my list of things to purchase. Now, I am a firm believer in sleeping with silk. My silk sleep mask and silk pillowcases are not only comfy and cool, but neccessary to the health of my skin and hair.

For a while now, I have been getting eyelash extensions. I had purchased a contour sleep mask not made of silk to protect my lashes. I found the mask to be itchy and it felt rough on my skin. After learning, how silk would absorb less of my skincare products and help my skin retain its moisture, I began searching for a silk one.

After lots of research, I decided to purchase the Slip silk contour sleep mask. The contour allows the mask to not touch my eyes or lashes and the silk is so soft I hardly feel like I have anything on. The strap is comfortable and has enough give that it doesn’t crease my hair.

The sleep mask is pure silk inside and out, some are not. The patented slipsilk is made of the highest (6A) long fiber mulberry silk. The sleep mask has a thickness of 22 momme. The higher the momme, the better.

I also love that Slip uses non toxic dyes. The sleep masks come in an array of beautiful colors. I purchased the violet moon sleep mask that was on sale in a Beauty Sleep over set. The set included, 1 large moonflower slipsilk scrunchie and 1 black slipsilk skinny scrunchie along with the violet moon sleep mask. This was a limited edition set, but I was more than happy to use the slipsilk scrunchies on my long hair.

Ladies and gents, I do not ever see myself going back to a regular sleep mask. You cannot beat a high quality silk sleep mask. Invest in yourself and selfcare. You wont regret it.
